There are moments history so misunderstood, often deliberately suppressed, that simply learning about them can be oddly subversive. Each season, Michael, Avi, and a changing cast of guests will delve into such subjects as The Spanish Revolution and Civil War, Israel’s genocidal occupation of Palestine, The Black Panthers, The Zapatistas, and so much more. Wild hijinks ensue!
We recorded this episode a while ago, in case you couldn't tell, and we're probably going to come back every now and again, and put out new continuation episodes of season one whenever something major happens that affects all the stuff we've been talking about for the past six episodes.

S1E1 - Episode 1: Anarchist Borat and the PKK
You've probably heard of the Kurds of northeast Syria before in the news. They're typically credited with being the folks who put down ISIS, While this is true, it overlooks an achievement far grander in scope: a Libertarian Socialist revolution on a scale not seen since the fall of Revolutionary Catalonia in the Spanish Civil war. This first season of The History They Don't Teach is the story of that revolution. A revolution against hierarchy itself.
